While lifespans have been rising over the last 50 years, so has the life expectancy gap between the rich and the poor in the United States, a new study shows.Lifespans have been steadily lengthening due to advances in technology and public health, but a study released last week by the Brookings Institution revealed that this advancement has been much quicker for wealthy people than for poor people. More then likely it's due to the rich having the cures for things like cancer, viruses, and other forms of disease. This has to be proof that the rich are holding out cures to the worlds disease problems. I mean think about it if your ordinary citizen looked like Henry Kissinger they would of probably passed on by now. Something alone is keeping that man alive and other like him still walking on this green and blue planet. The life expectancy gap is increasing at the same rate as the money gap between rich and poor. Those two things increasing at the same time would have to leave someone to wonder.
